Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

Metallic Crystal's dark and silvery metallic character can be paired with the following tones:

Application Notes

• Layer application: Applying 2-3 coats is recommended for balanced metallic depth and crystal development. Allow the surface to dry completely between coats.
• Application thickness: Thicker applications may increase the dark metallic depth and flow. In thinner applications, crystalline movement and gray-blue undertones may become more pronounced.
• Clay body selection: On light-colored high-fire clay bodies, the contrast between the dark base and silvery crystals may appear stronger and more distinct.
• Firing effect: Crystal density, surface gloss, and pattern development may vary with each application depending on the firing curve, controlled cooling, and kiln atmosphere.
• Preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before use to ensure an even distribution of crystal-forming minerals and metallic pigments.
